Dimapur, August 7 (MExN): Peace Channel, the Youth Peace Movement was inaugurated at Oriental College, Kohima on August 6, 2011 at the college auditorium. Victor Kevilhouthie Yhome, Coordinator Peace Channel, Kohima District in his message, re-introduced the Peace Channel Movement to the gathering. He mentioned that Peace Channel is a youth peace movement which is aiming at motivating and organising the youths irrespective of differences of tribe, region, religion, denomination etc. to come forward under the banner of peace and to promote peace. He said that Peace is a situation of mind where one is able to keep oneself safe, undisturbed and unharmed in the midst of all the difficulties, problems and violence.
He also termed Peace as an addictive feeling when we are really convinced and truly believe in Peace. He said that, Peace carries a message of love, respect, care, reconciliation and hope and that peace is not made from a conference table but in the minds of the people. He also said that, today the essence of peace is lost, and is not found in the lives of individuals, families, society, nation in the form of wars, murders, thefts, robberies, corruption, rapes etc. He pointed out that 21st century is a century of dialogue, so peace is a very important element for any positive outcome and development.
